Artsy Mapping Contest

[Takuto]

Darn, I missed the deadline.

I'm a little frustrated at myself for not finishing in time after all the work I put into it, I'll admit.

But oh well, I'll just put the tiles I made to use in a project or somethin'.

@Everyone

I really liked almost all of the entries. Especially the Platformer Cave one and also GrandmaDeb's.

Good luck to you all!~

 

[Weem]

Pretty sure you got a couple more hours, unless the 11 isn't forum time.

It's still the 31st where I am last I checked

 

[Takuto]

Nah, it's almost 12:00 GMT.

It's okay, I'm already working on something else now anyway. ^_^

But thanks.

 

[Lunarea]

So many awesome entries... Judging is going to be tough this time around!

 

[byrdbones]

Can't believe I forgot to post  ...maybe next time.

 

[ThatChillingLittleKiddo]

So...? Who are the winners? When will they be announced?

 

[boldpaste2]

Anticipation steadily grows, There are a lot of really good entries and it's really hard to predict which way this will go. 0.0

 

[Lunarea]

Still in the judging process! Winners will be announced this week, though.

 

[GrandmaDeb]

Tick.... Tick.... Granny is stalking... Tick.... Tick....


Lol I know it takes forever to do this stuff. I am just like a kid, tho, hoping I get a random drawing.... Tick.... Tick....

 

[DarkstarMatryx]

@GrandmaDeb, I'm a little surprised you don't own all of the resources already. I thought you were the Queen bee of all the resources.

 

[GrandmaDeb]

***cough, cough*** there's a new one coming out.....


Besides, I have to catch up on my musiks.....

 

[DarkstarMatryx]

*Hack Hack* Oh... interesting, now I'm excited.

 

[Lunarea]

Winners will be announced tomorrow!

 

[sokita]

yay! hope I can win the lucky draw, at least...

I wish everyone could be winners all the maps were great.

We were blown away by the absolutely gorgeous background you've created. The map itself had a lot of atmosphere and lovely composition.

But that's not all!

[boldpaste2]

Congrats winners! I got to try harder next time I guess.

 

[Monkeysnow55 The Cookie]

Yay, congrats! Maybe I'll win sometime!

 

[EternalShadow]

I STILL can't believe I've won nothing besides that time when I had a random draw prize for the DS resource pack, and that was last November! XD


gg tho.

 

[GrandmaDeb]

The four maps with win!!!!!

My theme is a dreamy cafe that looks onto the sea during the sunset.

I made everything in this picture except for the lamps and the grass, which I owe credit to Enterbrain.


Idk if I have to choose one specific resource to submit, but if I have to, it's definitely the bg:

 

Not sure what should the title be, but I made it based on summer theme. I guess Summer Vacation is fitting enough. =D

All Graphics asset used are custom made by me.

Updated my map because I felt the tint was hiding some details. And updated the waterfall.

I'm a leftie but I pretty much did this with my right hand. ><

 

Since I was having trouble coming up with ideas for my game, I spent my day making this instead. Platformer maps should be ok too, right?

It is so much fun to rub shoulders with folks who actually do know art (Art Royalty prizes are very fitting) and who clearly do know how to take some sweet new resources and map!


Congratulations, Artsy Mappers!


Gratz to everyone, and a huge thanks to the folks who had to put their heads together and judge this project. All of the contributors were very creative. It was a blast to see it all, even when it was terrifying. =D You all are sooo gifted around here!
